Manuscript: You must provide a print-ready PDF of your manuscript, formatted to match the exact dimensions of the finished book. This means the page size in your file should match the final book size (e.g., A5, 6”x9”, etc.).

Your file should:

• Be correctly paginated and laid out

• Include all the content you want printed (titles, dedications, etc.)

• Have sufficient margins for binding (especially inner/gutter margins)

If you’re unsure how to format your file, feel free to message me before ordering—I’m happy to advise or quote for formatting assistance.
